Chapter 49 Mo Li is Jealous
Shu Ning followed his gaze and looked over—
"Mo Li!" she greeted him with a smile.
"Weren't you feeling unwell?! Why did you come out?"
His face was expressionless, and his tone was slightly heavy.
The main thing was that Xuanmo's expression became even colder after they came out together.
Didn't she say she liked him? Why does she always look for Xuanmo instead of him?
Upon hearing Mo Li's words, Shu Ning was like a child caught doing something wrong, completely at a loss for what to do.
"I...I'm much better now," she said softly, shrugging her shoulders.
"Hurry up and go back," he said to her, feigning a fierce tone.
"Hmm..." She took Xuanmo's hand and was about to walk forward.
As Xuanmo passed Mo Li, he glanced at him with a hint of smugness in his eyes.
Seeing Xuanmo's gaze, he felt even more irritated.
So he turned around and followed them.
He took Shu Ning's other hand and pulled her, who was leaning against Xuan Mo, toward him.
Shu Ning almost lost her balance when he suddenly pulled her.
She looked up at him, puzzled by the man's behavior.
Didn't he only have 5 points of affection for her? Wasn't he indifferent to her?
With such a low level of affection, how could she possibly be jealous?
She saw herself being pulled by one man on her left and another man on her right.
Shu Ning felt the scene was a bit awkward.
Fortunately, neither of the two tall men walked too fast, so she could barely keep up with them.
"Mo Li, what are you doing here?" she asked, trying to break the awkward silence.
Because her cave was just ahead.
"I'm bringing food," he replied simply.
"Was it delivered to me?" she asked deliberately.
"Um."
"Really? Thank you so much!" Shu Ning's eyes lit up as she thanked him.
"Don't go out if you're not feeling well in the future," Mo Li said, her tone softening slightly.
"Okay, I understand. Thank you for your concern," Shu Ning replied.
Upon reaching the cave entrance, Shu Ning released Xuan Mo's hand, but Mo Li did not.
She looked up at him. "Mo Li, we've arrived."
Mo Li only let go after hearing her words.
Shu Ning walked over to Xuan Mo and looked at the fish, scallions, and mushrooms in the bag.
She ran back into the cave and saw the meat that Mo Li had given her.
She decided to make a fish soup and stir-fry some meat.
"Xuanmo, do you know how to build a stove?" she asked, looking at Xuanmo who had followed her in.
"How do I do it?" Xuanmo was bewildered by his question.
Shu Ning laughed and said, "It's the one outside, the one used for making soup. If we add another one, we can cook soup and stir-fry vegetables at the same time."
Xuanmo went out after seeing the direction she pointed.
Shu Ning took the meat, Sichuan peppercorns, and salt out.
"What do you need me to do?" Mo Li asked, noticing that she wasn't making barbecue but instead fiddling with something with Xuan Mo.
"Hmm... Mo Li, we're making soup. You haven't had any yet, have you?"
"Soup?" He looked at her in confusion.
"right."
"Mo Li, help me move some firewood," Shu Ning said as she placed the pot on the stove.
Mo Li didn't understand why she did this, but she did it anyway.
She picked up some thin twigs and put them in, then lit them with a lighter.
Mo Li was surprised to see the lighter that she had produced from nowhere and stepped forward in surprise.
"Hahaha..." Shu Ning looked at him with a puzzled expression as she saw him coming over, trying to cover something up with her laughter.
She was used to taking things from her spatial storage and was only paying attention to the work at hand.
He probably wouldn't think anything of it; it's just something she's never seen before. After all, there are many things in their Jiao clan that she's never seen before.
"What is this?" he asked, his brow furrowing slightly.
“This is an ignition device,” Shu Ning said.
"A lighter?" He took the lighter from Shu Ning's hand and carefully and curiously fiddled with it.
I copied what she had just done and pressed the button.
Instantly, a strong and rapid blue flame shot out from the other end of the outlet, and the flame was as long as half of his arm.
He was startled by the sudden burst of fire and almost dropped it.
Shu Ning stood up, took the lighter, glanced at him, and smiled slightly.
He then skillfully pressed the button and sprayed fire in a distant direction.
This was a reward she specifically asked 007 for—a field lighter, unlike ordinary lighters.
With a gentle press, it can spray flames. It is not only lightweight and durable, but also allows you to adjust the flame size and refuel at any time.
There is also a light that can provide light for a long time with very little fuel.
As Mo Li watched her skillfully use the things in her hands, she couldn't help but be attracted by the confident glow that she unintentionally exuded.
Hearing the sound of the remaining water in the pot drying up, Shu Ning quickly bent down and cut off the animal skin and fatty meat, putting them into the pot to fry.
"Mo Li, I'm leaving the fire-starting to you."
She said this as she fried the food.
Mo Li roughly guessed what she was talking about. Seeing that the fire under the pot was getting smaller and smaller, he squatted down and added firewood.
Soon, the oil was rendered out, and then Shu Ning put the prepared fish in to fry.
After frying for a while, add water and boil.
By this time, Xuanmo had already set up another stove. Shu Ning placed another pot on it and lit the fire using the same method, no longer trying to hide it from them.
Although Xuanmo was curious, he didn't say anything and just quietly tended the fire.
Watching her slice the meat into thin slices, stir-fry it, and then add freshly picked mushrooms.
Upon smelling the aroma, he couldn't help but frown. Could this really be eaten?
After hearing that the water in the other pot was almost boiling, she added mushrooms, scallions, and Sichuan peppercorns to it.
Soon, the aroma of fish and mushrooms filled the air, tempting everyone present.
The stir-fried meat and mushrooms were ready. She sprinkled some wild scallions on top and mixed it all together.
"Xuanmo, let's call it a day," Shu Ning said excitedly.
Shu Ning ran back into the cave and brought out three sets of bowls and chopsticks.
Xuanmo noticed that she had a new tool and couldn't help but stare at it curiously.
Shu Ning used her chopsticks to pick up a piece of meat and mushrooms and placed it near Xuan Mo's mouth.
"Xuanmo, have a taste."
After smelling the aroma, Xuanmo swallowed hard but didn't open his mouth; he was hesitant to eat.
Seeing that Xuanmo hadn't eaten, Shu Ning realized that he must be afraid it was poisoned.
So he started eating it himself, saying, "Xuanmo, it's delicious and not poisonous."
Then she picked up a piece of animal meat and gave it to Mo Li, who was tending the fire.
"Mo Li, have a taste."
Mo Li didn't hesitate and opened her mouth directly.
"How was it?" she asked, looking at him expectantly.
"Hmm, not bad," Mo Li commented, savoring the taste after finishing his meal and wanting to continue eating.
After hearing Mo Li's positive evaluation, Shu Ning used her bowl to serve him a bowl.
"Mo Li, this bowl is yours, eat it."
After Mo Li took it, she tried to use chopsticks to pick it up like her, but she couldn't do it as skillfully as Mo Li.
Shu Ning found it adorable to see him using chopsticks.
"Mo Li, don't rush to use chopsticks, take your time. You can use the spoon first." Then she handed him the spoon.
It really helped a lot after using a spoon.
Seeing that she and Mo Li had eaten without any problems, Xuan Mo also got hungry and struggled to pick up a piece with his chopsticks.
Upon seeing the meat in front of him, he hesitated for a moment, but still put it in his mouth.
The next second, as the aroma of tender, smooth meat filled his mouth, his eyes lit up as he looked at her in shock, then at the stir-fried meat in the pot. This was simply the most delicious animal meat he had ever eaten, even better than roasted meat.
He soon wanted more, but since chopsticks were hard to use, he used a spoon to scoop it into his bowl.
"Eat more if you like it." Shu Ning saw that he had finally let go of his mental barrier and started to enjoy the food.
After thinking that the soup in the other pot was almost ready, Shu Ning ladled some out and tasted it to check the saltiness.
Perfect! The broth is rich, flavorful, and aromatic.
The freshness of the fish combined with the aroma of the mushrooms, along with Sichuan peppercorns and scallions, is simply divine.
She nodded in satisfaction at her cooking skills.
"Mo Li, no need to light the fire anymore, we can start eating now."
After serving soup to both beastmen, he also drank some himself. A bite of beast meat and a sip of fish soup—it was simply too delicious!
This was Mo Li's first time drinking fish soup. After taking a sip, the deliciousness of the fish soup immediately filled his mouth, surprising him once again.
He looked down at her.
Before she appeared, he ate raw meat. After she appeared, she brought fire, so he started eating roasted meat, stir-fried meat, and fish soup. He couldn't understand how she knew how to cook these things.
Could it be true, as the rumors among the wolf clan suggest, that she is indeed the messenger of the Beast God?
Whether she is a messenger or not, she is his female.
